We're both crawling the web and building content indices, and then calculating the relevant metrics for shares/links. Having used both for months this year, sometimes we'll get better results and sometimes Buzzsumo delivers better results. We're actively working to improve the quality of our index and the results.

I think Buzzsumo is pretty great, and my best advice is to use what works for you. On our end, we'll work to build strong enough features and refine our data to make us a compelling alternative.

Josh, it was easy enough to take it out of the math modeling for our Reach score. But we'll definitely need Twitter data going forward and we're working on something that factors in both shares and the influence of the sharer(s). We've got a good head start on this with Followerwonk.

Thanks Ronell. Improving upon the PRO reporting and making that part of Moz Analytics is our first priority. A lot of our customers, both in-house and on the agency side, rely on them to provide intel.

Good call on that smartphone update. I think, in general, Google is going to reveal little in the way of confirmations about ranking factors. When they do, it will probably be under the umbrella of 'this helps users on your site' like the smartphone rankings piece.

IMO, there's a better shot of a click to an event marked up in schema.org than there is say, a basic fact. The Knowledge Graph and answer cards are going to take away a lot of clicks for sure. There's a good chance that users who see an event in a rich snippet or Knowledge Graph listing may be looking for more info about the event or how to buy tickets. Those clicks will be sought after.

Yep, the Banksy example (plus the entire Wikilinks project) is trying to tackle a core problem: entity disambiguation. This is really hard stuff to get right across a vast sea of HTML documents. Right now, it seems there's a handful of sites they trust with these co-reference signals (IMDB and Wikipedia being two of them.

Maybe a more accurate question would've been "Do keywords have new friends?"

Thanks Ryan. I agree that there's no stronger signal of user intent than the keyword. It will be interesting to see how we adjust strategies to these changing intent signals. In some ways, we already have (focusing on Authorship, using data markup to indicate semantic relationships).

Very true. What Google populates from Freebase in the Knowledge Graph is sprinkled with structured data that it accumulates from its crawl. Data that it can identify as semantically related to the entity in the SERP. It's that last piece that SEO are going to need to puzzle on.

The CTR increase has proven itself out over a number of structured data projects I've worked on, but not all of them are winners. In many cases, the work involved is justified by the increased traffic. If semantic markup is or becomes a ranking factor, that changes the ROI considerably.

Try your searches with quotes around them, so you get exact occurrences of that phrase on a page. I often sort by Feed Authority after performing a search, to prioritize the most important feeds the page was found on.If you're still seeing irrelevant data, please flag the result or drop us a note in feedback. We'll want to use your experience to help make FWE return better results. Thanks!

Please flag both as you see fit, and we can use them to figure out how frequently each occurs and adjust our scoring. Feeds are a bit of a different world, so I think you might see more of the low quality page issue on an otherwise strong domain

You are far too kind Mr. King. It is certainly not lost on me that the person writing this is one of the sizable handful of people in SEO that are smarter than me. Indeed, one of the best parts of this move is that I'm now working with people that I learn new things from everyday.There's an outside chance Mozlandia will be open by SearchFest, and maybe I can bring a Street Fighter cabinet in to see who's boss.
